He coincidentally does live in Nova Scotia and he emailed me in late 2016 to tell me that he was coming b...

Re: Toronto 2/4

The show was solid but... They seemed tired at first, then it got going. Maybe the result of 3 shows in 3 nights. Toronto was their 5th show in five nights. I wouldn't be very flattered by that if I were the band. It certainly doesn't hold them to a very impressive standard! I think they've still g...

If Trump is elected, on the global stage America is going to be perceived as being in the same category as Russia and North Korea. Trump has a lot of similarities to Putin and Kim Jong-un.

Re: DBT to play at Democratic National Convention

My thoughts are as follows. 3EB WAS a really, really good band in the mid to late 90s. Their self-titled album is a classic in my opinion. Every track on that album is great. If someone left you or you're going through some form of loss, that album really hits home. Ever since, they have spiraled. ...
